Keywords:
Germaine Dulac, Surrealism, Visual Symphony, Film Analysis, CinemaAbstract
Germaine Dulac is mainly known for her work La coquille et le clergyman and for his controversial collaboration with Antonin Artaud in it. However, in order to get a closer approach and to understand the germ of the surrealist stage of the filmmaker, it is necessary to know her personal motivations and her critical position towards the values and the position occupied by the figure of women in her time, which was favoured by the artistic and political movements of the moment. This will be the cause that will lead her to experiment and express herself through the formal and narrative elements of the cinema, the study of the movement of the characters and their relation with the scene, as well as the investigation of rhythm, the emphasis on the Psychological and interior world, in order to reach the idea of pure cinema.
